Faced with Fu Lengyu's cold gaze, An Ran had the urge to run away. But it was too late now. She forced a smile and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Fu Lengyu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked her up and down with a cold and distant expression. "Who was the person who brought you back just now?" he asked.An Ran was about to answer truthfully, but he interrupted her with a sarcastic remark. "You've only been out for a short while and you're already flirting with people? I must say, An Ran, you've really surprised me!"
For a woman, this kind of sarcasm was a double blow to both her mental and physical state. An Ran mustered up the courage to explain, "The person who brought me back was Lu Ye Bai. I just happened to help his nephew once, so he offered to give me a ride back... It was just a favor, nothing more."
She added, "Please don't misunderstand."
If he still thought she was trying to seduce someone after her explanation... An Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was nothing she could do about it.
Of course, Fu Lengyu knew his good friend Lu Ye Bai wouldn't have any romantic interest in this woman. But seeing them parting so affectionately just now made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.
Feeling uneasy, he spoke with a sharp tone, full of gunpowder. "I won't misunderstand, because I trust my friend. But as for a woman like you..."
Fu Lengyu's thin lips curled into a sneer, and he looked at her with disdain. "I can't trust a woman like you!"
An Ran was so insulted by his words that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't want to show weakness, so she suppressed her tears and said coldly, "Fu Lengyu, even if you want to insult me and slander me, please provide some evidence! Otherwise..."
An Ran straightened her chest and said coldly, "Otherwise, you're just a petty person who likes to slander others!"
Fu Lengyu rarely saw An Ran so firm. In her waiting eyes, there seemed to be two flames of anger burning fiercely... This fire seemed to ignite a nerve of excitement in him.
An Ran clenched her fists, and the pain of her nails digging into her palms kept her last bit of sanity. When she said this sentence, she was actually trembling with fear inside.
Fu Lengyu suddenly laughed.
He was very handsome, and his smile had a charming and attractive demeanor. He said to An Ran, "Get in the car."
An Ran instinctively stepped back, but then realized that he was asking her to get in the car, and was stunned for a moment.
"I...I don't want to go," she wanted to say, but she didn't have the courage to disobey Fu Lengyu's orders.
After getting in the car, Fu Lengyu didn't wait for her to adapt. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out like an arrow leaving the bow. An Ran, as usual, slammed into the backrest and hit her wound, causing her forehead to break out in a cold sweat.
Fu Lengyu drove the car like he was racing, and the speed was so fast that it made An Ran tremble with fear. She couldn't even see the scenery outside the car window clearly.
There was a sharp turn ahead, but Fu Lengyu showed no signs of slowing down. Instead, he accelerated!A heavy truck was coming towards them, and An Ran was so scared that her whole body stiffened, and her hands and feet turned cold!
"Ah..."
An Ran tightly closed her eyes, not daring to witness the tragic scene of the two cars colliding!
"Haha!"
For a long time, An Ran didn't notice any pain in her body. She heard a sneer from Fu Lengyu beside her, and cautiously opened her eyes, realizing that they hadn't crashed...
She breathed a long sigh of relief, but the car was still speeding as fast as ever.
"Fu Lengyu, can you please slow down?" An Ran was so scared that she was about to cry. That scene just now was like a nightmare. Even though they hadn't crashed, An Ran still felt a heart-pounding fear when she thought about it.
It could have been fatal!
Fu Lengyu seemed to completely ignore her plea and continued to drive recklessly.
An Ran raised her pale face and, holding back tears, begged in a low voice, "Please slow down, Fu Lengyu. Can you please slow down? I'm scared."
When he was young, Fu Lengyu had played as a race cardriver for a while, and he was very confident in his driving skills.
He had completely disregarded An Ran's plea, but for some reason, he slowly reduced the speed when he saw her pitiful tears from the corner of his eye.
The slower speed made An Ran feel safe again. She wiped away the tears on her face and sincerely said to Fu Lengyu, "Thank you..."
Thank you for slowing down.
Fu Lengyu's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he casually said, "We're just almost there. I didn't slow down because of you!"
An Ran's face stiffened, and she awkwardly lowered her head, not daring to speak anymore.
It was really just like what Fu Lengyu said. They were almost at their destination, so he reluctantly slowed down.
It was a towering skyscraper with a neon sign at the top that read "Fashion Entertainment".
An Ran stared at the work badge in a daze. She had studied fashion design in college, specializing in overall beauty and styling design. Before her family had any problems, she had dreamed of working for this company as a private designer for celebrities. But now, as she returned, she realized that her dream was getting further and further away.
"What are you standing there for? Follow me!"Although she didn't become a celebrity stylist as she had hoped, An Ran had always been interested in the various insider news about the industry. Today was the 20th anniversary of the internal fashion show for Wind Entertainment.
An Ran didn't care why Fu Lengyu was here, she just looked at the company in front of her and felt a sense of longing.
Fu Lengyu was a distinguished figure, and the manager personally came to greet him as he walked through the VIP passage. An Ran walked beside Fu Lengyu, not like a companion, but more like a secretary. That was because she had come straight from work and didn't have time to change.
The other women at the show were all dressed in evening gowns or sexy dresses, while she was wearing a casual suit that made her look like a secretary.
"Mr. Fu, Miss Tang is preparing backstage. If she knew you were here, she would be very happy."
There had been rumors in the industry that Fu Lengyu and Tang's family had intentions of forming an alliance. Although Fu Lengyu was already taken, it didn't stop people from speculating about the ambiguous relationship between him and Tang Yuzhi.
In the elevator, Fu Lengyu refused the manager's offer to accompany him and took the front row VIP seating card to the fashion show. Tonight was a grand event in the industry, a large-scale party where the lights were dazzling, the wine was intoxicating, and the handsome men and beautiful women were so numerous that it made people dizzy.
